Richardson, model Nadja Bender flaunts her legs in a range of styles. From the metallic gold ‘Dierdre’ booties to the strappy ‘Lance’ sandals, the pre-fall shoes are sexy and elegant.

PARIS CHINTZ MEETS TORY BURCH PIZZAZZ

Tory Burch’s new flagship store in Paris walks a delicate line between classic French style and the New York brand’s distinctive blend of quasi-oriental Upper East Side gloss.

The 4,200 sq ft shopping paradise in the Rue Saint-Honoré, which opened earlier this month, is located in a 19th century building and was designed in collaboration with architect Daniel Romualdez.

Set out as a series of salon style rooms over three floors joined by a classical staircase, the aim of the flagship is to introduce the millions of international visitor to Paris to the Tory Burch brand. Some rooms speaks the interior language of Paris with the chintz prints reminiscent of the traditional wallpapered guest rooms in some of the cosy hotels in St Germain. Burch was also apparently influenced by the 1920s French interior designer Madeleine Castaing, saying that her work had particularly influenced the colour choices throughout.

This interior is in tune with both its location and its origin. Key materials include intarsia marble flooring, white oak walls and a large dose of the brand’s traditional lacquered finish. The main floor showcases the accessories business whilst upstairs there are rooms for ready-to-wear, homewares, watches, jewellery, eyewear, and footwear. On the fifth floor there is a VIP salon with the feel of an intimate drawing room.

CHARLOTTE’S WEB

High-end designer of quirky, luxury shoes, Carlotte Olympia, will keep the Chelsea neighbourhood well-heeled with its latest store opening. The shop, located in the fashionable Brompton Cross, will be Charlotte’s second London outpost taking her total stand alone store count to 10.

Laid out over 150 square meters, the store encapsulates the spirit of the brand and is inspired by a by-gone era of old Hollywood glamour. The showcase rectangular windows provide an enticing view inside the store.

Luxurious blush furnishings and shocking pink mid-century style seating entice customers to sit back and try on the shoes. The store also features a beautiful herringbone wooden floor and matching furniture in the new dedicated room showcasing the recently launched collection of leather handbags and small leather goods. Charlotte’s signature web and kitten designs feature throughout the store.

The UK designer has international aspirations with further openings this year in Bangkok, Las Vegas and Costa Mesa, California. The designer also recently collaborated with Sak’s Fifth Avenue for a Cinderella collection timed with the release of the film.

When you go to London’s Brompton Cross, notice that you have to stay a day longer in this city, because this ’boutique’ is a true Shop-a-holic Paradise! Lucky, they have a closing time!
